My War of the Roses output slowed a bit because I received an order of metal command figures from Perry and I wasn't sure what to do with them (I also decided to rebase a couple of hundred elves but that's another story!). Eventually I decided to do a base with Queen Margret and the Duke of Buckingham.
They came out looking okay and they make a very colourful command base. Overall I'm pretty happy with the result. I made Margret's banner from scratch in photoshop and I downloaded an image of Buckinghams standard and worked it in photoshop where I enlarged and cleaned it up into a printable version. I don't know who made the original but I apologise if I stole it. I just found it as a small image online. Fear not. This will be the only one I'll use and it won't be passed on to anyone else.
I also finished a unit of levy archers. I gave a couple of them a general dark blue and red livery that represents nowhere in particular. I gave them the Banner of St George which I made in photoshop because I couldn't find any other relevant banner to give them and I didn't want to tie them to any particular faction/lord.They came out looking okay.
That's it for now. I'm going to the UK and Greece in the next few days so I don't expect that I'll be posting anything for a while. Maybe I'll see some interesting places and turn this place into a travel blog for a couple of months.
Bye!
Excellent looking minis and have a nice trip!

Thanks Michal. It's been 31 years since I last went home to Wales and 20 years since my wife was back home in Greece.
DeleteOh wooooow! True back home.
DeleteLovely looking command base and the flags are very impressive. Have a good holiday and feel free to post images of your trip - you might even find one or two things of interest to take a picture of in Wales....they have sheep there, don't they?? :)
ReplyDeleteSheep and castles.
